Due to the hype some time ago, Europeans were very concerned about the trial of this expatriate insurgency case, and the McDonald consortium took this opportunity to launch a live broadcast of wireless radio. In the United States, and even in Europe, it was not the first time that wireless radio broadcasts live concerts. As early as five years ago, McDonald's company completed the live broadcast of the New Year concert in Europe. Two years ago, they even broadcasted the New Year concert live to North America.

However, it was the first time that the broadcast was broadcast from the wild southern hemisphere that was still under development. The McDonald's consortium temporarily built a radio forwarding station on the highest mountain in Tabana Entreniana in southern Africa, and then built such a station in Madagascar, followed by Italy... Of course, this cost a lot of money, but the Boers paid anyway, so there is no need to worry about the time difference. In addition, the time zone of Johannesburg is the same as that of Paris, so there is no need to worry about the time difference.

Moreover, in order to cooperate with the publicity, the Republic of Transvaal also set the trial time at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. This time was exactly the time for those Europeans to finish their day's work and answered that they would turn on the radio and listen to news or novels at home. Originally, the Boers were considering whether to simply place the trial time on Sunday, but Greston immediately rejected the proposal.

"How can you work on the Sabbath with a pious and somewhat conservative Christian?"

The trial method is a little rougher than in Europe, but in general it is still a bit of a legacy of the ancient Roman court. However, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the Boers' prosecutors presented undeniable evidence during the trial. Whether it was the letters of the Cape Governor Cecil Rhodes, Jansen and the "Alien Reform Commission" or the large number of weapons searched in the "Alien Reform Commission" all indicate that these British expatriates did participate in the previous rebellion.

Before this, the British people kept saying that the "Alien Council" participated in the rebellion was framed by the Boers, but now, the British expatriates who participated in the rebellion themselves confessed to it. The "barbaric and simple" Boers have not delayed much time. Since the facts are clear, their verdict was particularly straightforward: Mr. Dahl and others, who led the lead, were sentenced to hang, and the others were sentenced to five to fifteen years of labor.

This verdict immediately caused a storm in the UK and Europe.

Generally speaking, the world's most powerful country will always bully other countries. Otherwise, spending the world's number one military spending every year and maintaining the world's number one military? Is it just to wait for Her Majesty's birthday every year for military parade? If you can't go out happily to be a bully, wouldn't it be the world's boss in vain?

In addition, over the years, British people have been playing tricks on the European continent whenever they have the chance. So although many European countries now follow the British as younger brothers, their people have a very bad impression of the British (this is also the norm, and there is never a world leader who is not disgusted. For example, in later generations, in various surveys on foreign tourists, Europeans always think that tourists from the Lighthouse Country are the most annoying). For those who can see the British make a fool of themselves, it must be a good thing to be happy. Therefore, those people on the European continent are naturally

The one is more willing to believe that the British are not things, and the one is naturally more willing to believe that "everything is the conspiracy of the British." However, although the British are hateful, they are too powerful, so no one dares to jump out and oppose him. But now, the Boers stood up and slapped John Bull in the face through such a trial, giving a slap to the whole of Europe. So on the entire European continent, except for those who took the British money and spoke for the British against their conscience, most people were cheering for this judgment.

Of course, the British also had a strong influence on the media on the European continent, and some media would also help the British. But now, they were attacked unanimously. Writer Zola publicly accused these media of covering up the truth and betraying their conscience for money, comparing them to Judas who betrayed Jesus for a few silver coins. An unknown newspaper even spread rumors that these people were taking money directly from Cecil Rhodes.

"We have solid evidence that every time they disobey their conscience, Cecil Rhodes, would throw them five pennies. Yes, only five pennies. Because Mr. Cecil Rhodes also believed that the conscience of these guys was worth no value, at most five pennies."

Any reader knows that the things mentioned here must be fabricated. In any case, the price of five pennies is too low. Even if you have a dog, it is more than that. However, this article played an unexpected role, that is, from then on, as long as someone defended the British, others would laugh at him for taking the five pennies from Mr. Cecil Rhodes. Later, he simply called anyone who spoke for the British five pennies.

In Britain, the effect of this judgment was completely different. As the world's leader, British citizens always had to be superior to others wherever they went, especially those lowly and semi-barbarians. Although the British Empire's guardianship did not say such domineering words as "No matter where you are, the United Kingdom government and the Royal Army are your strong backing", in many cases, especially on the territory of weak barbarians, the British really often did this. When the British Empire was looking for trouble for those "barbarians" to annex their territory or plunder their gold, one of the common tricks used was to arrange a few British people to go there to commit suicide, and then rob them on the banner of protecting the legal rights of British citizens. And one of the consequences of this practice was

However, British merchants and other things can dominate without any scruples in many places. Now, a small Boer country dares to judge the higher British people, and even sentence them to death. Moreover, they were sentenced so simply that they gave such a judgment in just a few hours. This obviously did not take the British Empire seriously. If such behavior is not punished, how can the British Empire do business well in the future? Therefore, the voice of the Transvaal Republic, which punished the Boers and eliminated the Boers, became louder and louder in Britain. Many British MPs shouted in public: If the Boers dared to hang the British, they would start a war. The British government also announced that the Cape colony would be put on alert. He also sent a commissioner to Johannesburg to put pressure on the Boers.

"Dad, you see, the British are coming. If the war starts now, many of our business is not over yet and the money has not yet arrived." Grestone said to Scrooge, "Do we want to cool down the publicity?"

"No," Scrooge replied, "The barking dogs do not bite people. Although the Boers are not ready, are the British ready? What can the British team do with the little British in the Cape colony? If the British really want to take action, they will first release the 'peaceful sincerity' to make the other party's vigilance decrease. Now they are just intimidating. Not only can they not cool down, but they also need to add a fire. For example, now you can start to spread rumors publicly, because public opinion is one-sided, and the right to speak in this matter has reached our hands. If you don't spread rumors at this time, it will be a waste of your voice. Propaganda is like this,

At first, the audience would think that they care about the facts, but over time, the different attitudes towards a certain news will become more and more obvious. Then they will naturally use their butts to replace the "facts" they claimed that they value the most. From the widespread use of "five pennies", we can see that this trend is already very obvious. So my child, at this time, facts are no longer important, conscience, or butts are the most important. Now even if what you say is proven to be wrong, those butts are already on your side will not change their position because of this. So the time for spreading rumors is ripe."

"Okay, dad. I understand." Grestone said.

The next day, several newspapers in France and Germany reprinted a news release from the Associated Press:

"A well-informed person said that according to the plan previously formulated by Cecil Rhodes for the British government, the British team is secretly gathering and will be transferred to South Africa soon. Once the Republic of Transvaal rejects the appeal of the British diaspora, it will immediately use this as an excuse to declare war on the Republic of Transvaal to seize the gold mines in Johannesburg, conquer Transvaal, and turn it into a British direct territory."

Although the British government immediately launched a rumor refutation, claiming that the British government did not have such a plan. However, this rumor refutation was useless. Various media on the European continent were rumored that the Jensen Expedition was actually launched remotely by Downing Street and Windsor Castle, with the purpose of getting an excuse to start a war. The entire European continent was denounced the ambition and greed of the British. The great French writer Zola even said to his friends: "If I were still young, I must bring my own food like Byron, go to South Africa, and fight for freedom and justice."

Somehow the conversation was revealed in the newspaper, and as a result, a group of literary and artistic youths launched the "bring their own weapons, bring their own dry food, bring their own military pay, and defend freedom and justice". Compared with the keyboard warriors in later generations who only dared to take Mori and Lihua to the streets online but did not go to the streets, the European literary youths of that era were much more sincere and brave. They really formed a team of about a thousand people to go to Transva.r1058
